Tangible projects I made or was participant
USLESS MACHINES
The Useless Machine is a device that has a function but no immediate purpose. You can look at it philosophically: starting from a fun engineering hack or intellectual joke, show that devices that do not have functions or do not work properly are not considered useless machines. The most famous useless machines are inspired by a design by MIT professor and artificial intelligence pioneer Marvin Minsky, in which the only function of the device is to turn itself off by using its own switch. Karol Nowak's interpretation of Marvin Minsky's design adds reflection on the flattening of interactions with contemporary devices. Once upon a time, sensually rich interactions were dominated by screens and smooth, flat, touchable but poor-to-touch surfaces.
EMPATYPHYTE
{ Empatyfit }
Why is the treatment vegetation so subject? An attempt to answer this the question is the Empatyphyte installation, which allowed viewers to come into contact with the plant. Actress (Tilandsia duratii, enormous tangle) was placed in a black rectangular prism constituting a frame for interaction between plant and human. The entanglement moves through space in reaction on the viewer's position. It also makes its own movements based on the respondents' mood reflexes by Charles Darwin
Empatyphyte VideoSTAIRSEATS
The stairs are a dehumanized space that we often encounter in the city. Domination, centricity, the structural weight and monotony overwhelm the user, making him anxious because are associated with effort, fatigue and slowness. An attempt was made to change the perception of stairs by people. Invited him to interact by introducing the GREEN SEAT - a spatial distinguishing feature that visually breaks the weight and domination stair construction. The project assumed the use of an individual structure integrating the seat with stairs, accenting his sovereignty through different colors and spatial implementation of vegetation concrete desert degrees. Project realized in cooperation with SUM AK(Zofia Gagoś, Karol Muszyński)
